Larger font, smaller font?

By developing our website to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines WCAG, we have enabled visually impared users to select the size of the text displayed.  This is actually a feature provided by the web browser, however sometimes website designers disable this feature by specifying text sizes in exact pixel meaurement, which doesnt allow for resizing text.

You can use the links above to increase and decrease the text size, or you can use the following methods

• Internet Explorer
  • Select "View" > "Text Size" > "Largest, Larger, Medium, Smaller, Smallest"
  • If you have a scroll wheel on your mouse, hold down the CTRL key and scroll the scroll wheel back and forth
• Firefox
  • Select "View" > "Text Size" > "Smaller or Larger"
  • To increase hold "CTRL and +", to decrease hold "CTRL and -"
